Well, this is an observation for an experiment that you have done recently, and we have not.....

Explanation:

I would assume that stirring the slurry would tend to break up the chunks of marble, and release carbon dioxide gas.....

CaCO3(s)+2HCl(aq)CaCl2(aq)+CO2(g)

Anyway, if you haven't done the experiment yet, please closely observe what occurs, and record the results contemporaneously.
